Abstract

This chapter details several key methodological issues in this study. It begins with a discussion on the challenging issue of access to information and research sites facing researchers who seek to conduct empirical studies on law and justice in China. Next, it describes the methods, data and additional sources that the findings of the book are rested upon. The limitations of this study are also outlined. Finally, the chapter ends by offering a reflection on the research process, which might be useful to researchers considering undertaking empirical work in China, either within the judiciary or more generally.
